Some of the subjects in our courtroom may require a little jog of the memory when you first hear of the person, others not so much.  And unless you’ve been living under a rock or in a coma for the last 10 years, Taylor Swift is a name you probably have heard much about, regardless of your taste in music.  The hardworking star has been topping the charts for about a decade, and probably the most remarkable thing about her, is that she has seemed to avoid that one big blowup.  But are there stories behind Tay Tay that the public isn’t in the know about that may cast a different light on her?  How did she get her big break?  Did Travis Kelce really put her on the map when he decided to be her boyfriend?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

When you think of the “mastermind” behind successful things, you usually find someone with a high level of education, decent business sense, and most importantly, a good idea.  Al Capone ran the largest organized crime ring in Chicago in the 20’s with the education of a 6th grader, a penchant for violence, and an idea that’s been tried many times.  But there is something to be said about being in the right place at the right time. Capone was one of the first “dons” to take his underworld fame to the public eye.  But was the cavalier attitude of the original Scarface what eventually brought him down?  How many dudes did this guy kill to climb our charts?  What kind of damage can with done with all those rendezvous with ladies of the night?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Al Capone episode of AHC Podcast.

“Back in my day…” is a phrase we are staring to hear more and more as the advancement of society continues to move forward at breakneck speed.  Hearing stories of the “old days” when times were more simple and stresses were different, brings many folks back to the friendly days of childhood.  The phrase “times were different then” seem to be a common mask nowadays for culturally inappropriate behavior, racism, sexism, and anything else that was cool then, but is frowned upon these days.  When talking about the subject of this show, there is pretty much no way to even get through the discussion without the overarching phrase “times were different then” looming overhead.  Genghis Khan was the head of one of the largest empires in human history, stretching from eastern China to central Europe, and the way he governed and overtook those in his way, carved out his place in history and most likely Hell.  Brutal murders, savage overtaking, mass expansion and spreading his seed was the formula for Genghis, and his success has literally been the subject of books, movies, and the study of war.  How brutal was he really? Did the folks in his way have an option, or were they just destined to either be knocked up or knocked out?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Genghis Khan episode of AHC Podcast.

It’s always sad when the world loses someone too soon, and the music world seems to lose people at the age of 27 in a freakishly odd rate. Many of these talents were generation and changed the landscape of the current time and this show’s subject is no exception.  Kurt Cobain was seemingly at the top of the world when the stress and fame seemed to unravel his life.  There are many conspiracies around his death, but the story leading up to it is just as interesting.  How might his childhood have played a part in his all of his anger issues?  Is Courtney Love the basis of all of these songs?  What would Kurt Cobain look like now?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHFC Podcast.

You’ve got to be dedicated to make the decision to go off the grid.  The reasons people go off the grid differ, most are pretty insane, but some are just looking for a place to hide. The subject of today’s show, Ted Kaczynski - The Unabomber, was a mixture of both.  The Unabomber’s randomness of targets and timing had America on edge and had Kaczynski at the top of the FBI’s Most Wanted list.  The way his story played out is interesting, but was the manifesto he wrote as insane as most think?  Well yes, but how did he get to this point in life?  We’ll dive into this and more in this explosive episode of AHC Podcast.

The evolution of TV and media is moving rapidly and the number of viewing options we’ve got these days is just insane.  We’ve seen things change over time, some for bad, some for good, but the invention of trash TV is one thing that appears here to stay.  One of the figures that is on the Mt. Rushmore of trash TV, and the subject of today’s show, made paternity tests fun again and finally hung it up a few years ago. Maury Povich is synonymous with the likes of Jerry Spinger and Geraldo and stamped his show with the famous, “you ARE or ARE NOT the father” DNA test antics.  But were there antics off set that caused an issues?  How many guys would you need to sleep with to hold the record for most tests on the show?  We’ll answer these questions and more in the Maury Povich episode of AHC Podcast.

There are many iconic images that stick with people over time, and the DeLorean DMC-12 whizzing through town to take Marty McFly Back to the Future is definitely one of those.  We didn’t see too much of the DeLorean automobile in general.  Why is that?  Who the heck is DeLorean anyway?  John DeLorean made his way through the automotive industry, gaining acclaim for his work at GM.  Once he went out on his own, history was made, but the long-term prospects weren’t good.  Why didn’t the DeLorean pan out?  How fast did Marty McFly need to get up to in order to fly off?  Did DeLorean get the shaft in the end?  We’ll dive into this and more in the John DeLorean episode of AHC Podcast.

The title of “King” has been around awhile, and as time goes on, it seems to have definitely lost its luster.  Being the King of Rock and Roll, or the King of Pop, those seemed to have stuck.  But in the age of social media the desire to have followers and likes, it feels like the “King” title is getting thrown around a little loosely to gain attention.  Enter this show’s subject, The Liver King. The Liver King, aka Brian Johnson, has taken to his social media platform to promote his ancestral way of living and the line of supplements he sells to make him look like the real-life version of The Incredible Hulk.  But, as with most things, everything seemed too good to be true.  Is the diet that Liver King promotes, bull testicles, raw animal organs, and of course, liver, actually going to provide all the things your body needs?  How in God’s name do you choke something like that down?  How did he afford his massive steroid habit?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Liver King episode of AHC Podcast.

On this show, a person’s score is bound to be high when their image is what an entire generation of people think of when they hear the phrase, “bad guy”.  Saddam Hussein cemented his status in history as one of these bag guys, with his ruthless dictatorship of Iraq, including the murder and torture of many of his own people.  He made the mortal mistake of pushing the limit one too many times, and was one of the first public executions the world was able to view in a long time.  How high on the scale will Saddam land?  Were his kids even worse than him?  Was he able to catch any royalties off that bad guy image along the way?  Check out all this and more the in Saddam Hussein episode of AHC Podcast.

If you ask a small child what they want to be when they grow up, odds are you will get the answer from some, “the richest person in the world”.  Well, there can only be one of those people at any given time and the subject of today’s show is not only chart-topping rich, but he’s also changed the way the world buys things.  Jeff Bezos started Amazon from a garage in Seattle and has transformed it into something many of us depend on to get pretty much everything we buy, from paper towels to sex toys.  But how has Bezos, along with his company, Amazon, transformed over the years to keep up?  What kind of stuff do you buy when you’re the richest man in the world?  How much does it cost to transform into an X-Men bad guy lookalike?  We’ll dive into this and more in the Jeff Bezos episode of AHC Podcast.
